Out-of-favour Arsenal man ‘in talks’ with Fulham as Cottagers eye first summer signing

Premier League new boys Fulham are reportedly in talks to sign Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

The German shot-stopper was the Gunners’ No. 1 between 2018 and 2021 but lost his place in between the sticks shortly after Aaron Ramsdale’s arrival last summer.

He started his side’s first three games of the campaign, conceding nine goals as the Gunners failed to pick up a single point.

Leno only played one more league game, a 1-0 win at Aston Villa in March, picking up Arsenal’s final clean sheet of the 2021/22 season.

According to The Athletic, the 30-year-old is being targeted by Fulham.

The Cottagers are yet to make a signing since earning promotion from the Championship but have opened ‘talks’ over a deal for the Arsenal outcast.

Leno is thought to be one of many goalkeepers being considered by Marco Silva’s side, who will benefit from the German’s apparent desire to stay in London.
